Thoroughfares
Kingston Pike is the most significant thoroughfare. The eastern portion, with richly wooded roadsides that run through Sequoyah Hills is vastly different from the commercial strip that typically characterizes the balance of Kingston Pike (see Chapter 4, Major Corridors). Most of the other corridors including Gleason Drive, Deane Hill Drive, Lyons View Pike, Westland Drive and Northshore Drive are century-old, two-lane roads. The streetscape associated with those roads contains a rich variety of trees and should be conserved. Conservation and planting of yard trees, including small trees under utility lines, are the recommended planting approaches.

Neighborhoods
Sequoyah Hills, which was laid out in the late 1920s, with its narrow, winding concrete roads became the model for suburban development that characterizes this sector. Forest Hills was created in similar fashion. Many of the roads of later subdivisions were established without curb and gutter; sidewalks are a rarity. The streetscapes are heavily wooded. In a number of cases, trees were conserved as subdivisions were laid out. Additionally, early residents of the neighborhoods planted trees that are now decades old and mature. Conservation and maintenance, particularly by property owners, and infill planting programs are appropriate strategies.
